Patented June 6, 1911.

Application filed February 10, 191 Serial No. 607,810.

To all whom it my concern;

Be it known that l, ANNA TAYLOR, of 135 Third avenue, in the cit ofOttawa, county of Carleton, Province 0 Ontario, Dominion of Canada, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Artificial Eyelashes;and T do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same.

The invention relates to im rovements in artificial eyelashes, and theob ects of the invention are to improve the personal appearance of thewearer, without adding discomfort, and. generally to provide in sucharticles the natural efi'ect at a minimum cost, and it consistsessentially of the novel means used for projecting short lengths of hairoutwardly from the eyelid, the particular form and arrangement beingdescribed in detail hereinafter and shown in the accordpanying drawingsthat form part with this specification.

lnthe drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a "face, showing theapplication of this invention to the eyelid. Fig. 2 is an enlarged planview of the eyelash. Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view on theline A-B in Fig. 2.

Like numerals of reference indicatecorresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the backing or eyelash support, formedof a piece of material referably transparent, though it may be e? a skincolor and substantially of the shape of a crescent, having the endsclapped ed at 2, 3 being si e I shown as the upper and 4 as the underside. 5 are short lengths of hair, representing the eyelashes andpreferably attached to the under side by a wax process, adjacent to theconvex edge of the piece 1 and extending outwardly therefrom.

6 is an adhesive, covering of the piece of material 1.

In the use of this invention, the piece of material, which is shown of ashape to conform to the lower edge of the eyelid of the person, isfitted on said eyelid after the adhesive surface is brought to acondition to make the said material stick tightly on the skin, the hairwill then extend outwardly from the back over the natural eyelashes ofthe person and rest thereon and thus produce the efi'ect of verythickeyelashes, as the artificial eyelash may be made any suitable way,that is, very long, very thick or the under side curled, as regards thehair.

The piece of material 1 on the eyelid will be practically invisible,though if there is any chance of it being seen with the naked eye, alittle making up, by well known methods, will entirely hide it.

What I claim as my invention is:

In an artificial eyelash, a strip of material substantially crescentshaped with the ends clipped oil, short lengths of hair projectingoutwardly from the convex side of the crescent shape in the form ofeyelashes and fixedly secured adjacent to said edge on the under side ofthe strip, and an adhesive spread over the under side of said strip.

Signed at the city of Ottawa, this seventh day of February, 1911.
